Injury

Hey guys !

I havent updated my deviantart for a while and I tought It would be good to let you guys know whats up...


So last year in June, I damaged my hand. I played games and when my hand started hurting I ignored it and drew for 5 hours each day for a week. Needless to say that that didnt turn out nice. I am now diagnosed with RSI/tendonitis. They dont even know.

It is horrible and my life has literally turned around.. Ive recently discovered that loish had to go trough the same thing. So If anyone is interesting how it feels like, here is the way She described it on her blog. It couldnt have been described better.

"When my arm became injured in early February, I had to go on a forced break for a while. I had not yet accepted that this would be a long term problem, so every day I woke up with the expectation of being able to draw again without any trouble, which didn’t happen, and still hasn’t. In fact, I found that I couldn’t even carry grocery bags, hold my phone or turn the keys in my door without feeling that something was horribly wrong with my arm. Result? A 2 week emotional breakdown of sorts. I needed to rest my arm 100%, but couldn’t face this fact. I felt completely useless, and that without drawing or spending time behind a computer, there was nothing left of my identity. I genuinely couldn’t think of a single meaningful aspect of my life that didn’t involve sitting behind a computer or drawing. Needless to say, that isn’t really the case, but I was so used to building my entire identity on my life as a digital artist. Once I was forced to cut that out of my life, all I could feel was a gigantic loss."

Me thinking it will cure within few months.. I made a silly choice and went to University. I am struggling because I just cant do any proper work and everything I do hurts.
Mostly Im worried about developing my RSI into something worse...

So yeah because of my pain I need to interrupt my studies. I will need to pause and be at home for a whole year. I can just hope it will heal...

So all of you out there, take care of your hands. Theres a simple thing you can do. Everytime youre done drawing , put your hand under warm - cold - warm water for 5 seconds. It will help your muscles relax.



I would also like to apologize for everything I still owe people, especially icons and prizes.

Thank you for your support and being here even if Im not that active at the moment.
